The Portuguese has been an integral part of Pep Guardiola’s side for a few years, although he was linked with a departure over the summer in favor of a move to Catalonia. Barca are unable to afford Bernardo due to his financial problems, but they hope to resolve them in the coming months. The situation could improve by the summer, and the 29-year-old could then return to the list of candidates for hire.
The Daily Star claims that Bernardo’s release clause at Man City is only 60 million euros. Knowing that his market value (according to Transfermarkt) is 80 million euros, this could be a good deal.
There is no doubt that Bernardo would be a great signing for Barcelona, but even if this release clause information is true, it is very unlikely that the club will be interested in him anytime soon.
